Basandra's Battle Bullshit

Commander / EDH* RW (Boros)

ardilly


My take on a White/Red combat-based deck with Basandra, Battle Seraph at the helm - my initial thought was to utilize flanking and banding, which has stuck around in a few cards just because it's the kind of thing that will likely hit my opponents by surprise - kind of like all the phasing I have in Jhoira (of) the Git.

As it stands, it needs a couple of cuts. One of the "easy" options would be to get rid of a bit more banding & flanking, since those creatures are largely over-priced in terms of CMC, but I'm a bit stubborn and kind of want to keep them all...except maybe Femeref Knight because I have to activate his Vigilance .

Despite my strongest attempts, I just couldn't make Banding and Flanking work. The creatures are too weak and cost far too much to cast for what you get.

So instead, I'm trying a different take on "combat matters," semi-focusing around Angel's Trumpet & Arcum's Whistle. Only semi-focusing, since this deck is in white & red and thus isn't exactly going to tutor for the puzzle pieces it needs to work...
As such, I realized it's much more beneficial to stack Pacifism effects than it is to exile or destroy my opponents' creatures if I want my stupid old brown artifacts to work.

I feel like this theme is enough to significantly differentiate the enchantment focus in this deck from the enchantment focus in my Dan Brown: EDH Edition deck.
